Britain’s state-backed weather & climate service has been up to some astonishing things.
And at the center of it all?
One woman most have probably never heard of.
Penelope Endersby, chief executive of the Met Office.
Her agency’s actions might leave you speechless.
Endersby has led the Met Office since December 2018.
The agency operates as a trading fund under the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, supplying climate data that shapes government policy.
It manages hundreds of temperature stations across Britain, frequently cited in policy announcements, and serves as the UK's primary weather forecaster.
Given its role in providing data-driven insights, you’d expect the Met Office to be rigorously objective. In reality, it is far from it.
Last December, journalist Ray Sanders uncovered through a series of FOI requests that 103 of the 302 climate stations recording UK temperatures don’t actually exist.
after the revelation spread on social media, the Met Office quietly renamed the webpage that contained these recordings from “UK Climate Averages” to “Location-Specific Long-Term Averages.”
In short, they’ve used questionable data to “evidence” heating claims, which the legacy media then repeated. And rather than addressing the issue, they quietly rebranded their methods without proper explanation.
They first adjusted the 1940s data by subtracting 0.15°C. Then, between 2000 and 2014, they revised HadCRUT’s original report of a 0.03°C per decade warming, raising it to 0.08°C. The latest version, HadCRUT5, now reports 0.14°C per decade.
